And now for something completely different! A thrilling performance of #TheRailwayChildren as part of #Bradford2025 City of #Culture. Included #Steam journey. Featuring the Real Actual Engine that was in the film! Fantastic set, awesome, involving, emotional and exciting! @kwvrfriends.bsky.social

In the engine shed auditorium before the play. Seating on platforms along either side of the railway track, on which were two rolling platforms to be moved back and forth throughout the story.

The audience admiring the engine, after the play.

There's not much of a transport museum ecosystem here yet, so we thought we'd create a Starter Pack and add to it as places come on board. Explore the past through a ride back in time... go.bsky.app/MHhUhRw If you're a transport museum or heritage railway and you're not on the list, let us know!
